After the cook had prepared two large baskets full of stuffed pancakes and two large vats of wild vegetable and tofu soup, the men who had gone out all gathered together and came back as if they had smelled the smell.

Chen Dongyue also hurriedly called Qiao Sanmei, an embroiderer, and the others to come and have dinner together.

Looking at the stack of stuffed pancakes as big as two hills, the first thing Song Haopo did was to ask Chen Dongyue in a low voice, "Dongyue, who bought these grains?"

"Boss Shang," Chen Dongyue also whispered in the old lady's ear, "I just bought a piece of tofu."

The old lady let out a long sigh, "That's fine, that's fine. It's not that I'm stingy, it's mainly because of our family's financial background, we really can't stand such things."

"I know." Chen Dongyue raised her eyebrows, not intending to tell her that she bought a leg of lamb and planned to eat it at night.

"...Can we eat it?!" Kong Jie washed his hands, rubbed them on his body twice, and then looked at Chen Dongyue with expectant eyes, "Sister-in-law, this is our share, right?"

"Of course! But today's meal is for Boss Shang." Chen Dongyue smiled and pointed at Boss Shang who was about to open his mouth to eat the cake.

Boss Shang smiled and said: "It's too unreasonable to say that you are not invited. Come on, come on, let's eat quickly while the pie is still hot!"

After saying that, he took a bite of the stuffed pie that was soft on the outside and fragrant on the inside.

Seeing that the patron, Boss Shang, was already in action, everyone was unceremonious and stretched their hands directly into the basket filled with stuffed cakes.

Chang Wu, who had been greedy for a long time, finished a pancake in three mouthfuls, and then had a bowl of tofu soup. He was so forgetful about eating.

By the time Song Ke arrived, his men had basically shown off three or four cakes.

Everyone didn't sit at the table. Instead, they took the cakes and soup, and ate wherever they wanted. The main thing was to be at ease.

"Where did this cake come from?" Song Ke asked again.

Because my belly was too big and I couldn't squat down, I had no choice but to sit at the table. Boss Shang smiled and said to Song Ke: "Haha, our chef made it. You're welcome, Mr. Song. Eat something quickly to cushion your stomach."

Song Ke frowned slightly.

Oops.

I just said that I don’t need Boss Shang’s support, so why am I eating it now? !

...It's too late to tell his men to spit out the bread now.

But is he eating now or not?

To eat would go against what he said.

If you don't eat it, you will look particularly pretentious.

"What's wrong? Did this pancake bite you?"

Chen Dongyue, who was sitting in her old seat, saw that Song Ke was so hesitant to eat a piece of cake, so she couldn't help but tease him.

"Don't be ridiculous." Song Ke was immediately discouraged when Chen Dongyue teased him. He sat at another table, took a pancake, and started eating too.

There was an aisle between the two of them.

"Hey!" Chen Dongyue saw that the cakes were delicious, so she stopped being a good person again, "When you go to Prince Kang's Mansion, they won't leave any food?"

"...No one will stay." Song Ke turned his head and looked at Chen Dongyue helplessly, "I'm just a nobody, why does the prince want to keep me?"

"Yes." Chen Dongyue nodded slightly.

Song Ke couldn't really tell what he was feeling.

He didn't understand whether Chen Dongyue's "yes" was an affirmation of him or a denial of him.

"But where did you go riding horses this morning?" Chen Dongyue asked again.

Song Ke, who just wanted to continue eating the cake, could only put down the cake and replied: "Why don't you go there, just take a walk."

"Oh~~~" Chen Dongyue nodded, "I just can't say it."

Song Ke thought for a while and finally nodded.

In fact, Song Ke followed King Kang to his villa in the northern suburbs in the morning.

Although that place is said to be a separate courtyard of the palace, in fact, except for King Kang himself, the rest of the people in the palace are not allowed to enter at will.

Because there is King Kang's secret base in that other courtyard.

The prince kept some craftsmen in a secret base to... turn his fantastic ideas into reality.

Although there are still very few fantastic ideas that can be realized, King Kang is always happy with them.

The reason why Song Ke was asked to go to another courtyard today was because King Kang said that he had designed a wooden carriage a few days ago that could fire a hundred arrows at a time and could run in the mountains.

It fully meets Song Ke's needs to suppress bandits on the mountain.

Today, King Kang wanted Song Ke to try his wooden carriage.

It is a pity that the wooden carriage unfortunately overturned when passing through the simulated mountainous area, and then triggered the mechanism. A hundred arrows were actually fired, but they almost shot His Highness Prince Kang who was quite confident in his work. sieve.

Fortunately, today, apart from King Kang and his personal eunuch who went to the secret base in another courtyard, Song Ke was also allowed to enter.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Song Ke kicked away His Highness Prince Kang who was standing in a daze on the field...

Fortunately, His Highness had a lot of people, so he didn't punish Song Ke, he just scolded him not very pleasantly.

Hey.

In fact, Song Ke doesn't need a wooden carriage, he just needs some normal crossbows!

But the prince... just likes to be new and different. He said that it doesn't matter if he failed this time, and he will continue to improve next time.

When he heard these words, Song Ke almost burst into tears on the spot.

It's true... I'm not afraid that the second ancestor won't work hard, but I'm afraid that the second ancestor loves to work too much!

However, if he wanted to use the people of Prince Kang's palace, Song Ke had to coax the prince.

Otherwise, with just the ten people under his command, even if Chen Dongyue and the others were added to the group, there would still be no way to suppress the bandits.

He was really tired.

Thinking of this, Song Ke took a hard bite of the pie.

Needless to say, this pie is still delicious.

He just wanted to turn around and tell Chen Dongyue that the cake tasted good, but he saw that the person next to him had long disappeared...

Was she angry that he couldn't tell her much?

But he really couldn't talk about the prince's affairs.

Song Ke felt that he was a bit different inside and out.

In fact, Chen Dongyue didn't think about it deeply at all. She just asked casually. Song Ke wanted to tell her or not, but she didn't want to hear it.

The most important thing for her now is to set up an embroidery workshop and a handicraft workshop. In addition, she must exercise more and strive to improve her physical fitness and knife skills to a higher level.

Only in this way can we chop off the head of the bandit leader and obtain that kind of captain? !

After having a good meal, Chen Dongyue first gave Mrs. You the fabrics and embroidery threads she had just bought.

In addition, she also bought several different styles of purses and belts for reference by Mrs. You and others.

Because she felt that it was inconvenient for people to come and go in the main building, Chen Dongyue asked Zhang Cheng for a yard that the escort team had tidied up in the morning to house the embroiderers.

The boys in the escort team also knew that their son and Chen Dongyue wished they could be half-siblings, so if Chen Dongyue wanted a clean yard, they were naturally willing to give it up.

In order to repay these young men for their hard work throughout the morning, Chen Dongyue rewarded them with mutton stew in the evening.

The boys said no thanks for a few times, but at the end they said, "You have to add some garlic leaves when you cook the braised lamb."

Chen Dongyue asked them to talk to the cook.

The yard that was sorted out was originally an armory.

There are only two office rooms in total, plus a large warehouse.

Chen Dongyue asked the embroiderers to move everything to the warehouse, while she prepared to occupy an office room.

There is another office room. Jun Lan and Song Yun can live there if they want. If they don't want to, they can live in the main building with everyone else.

Her only principle is that she must have an independent space. As for how other people sleep, Chen Dongyue can't control that much.

After sorting out the affairs of the embroidery workshop, Song Bufan came to see Chen Dongyue again.

He said that he needed to discuss with Chen Dongyue whether they should continue to make bamboo supports for fan baskets or if there were any other new requirements.

"There are no new requirements at the moment," Chen Dongyue didn't care about much else. "Anyway, let's stick to the old routine for now. Wages and other things should still be as they were in Qingshan Village, okay?"

"That's great," Song Bufan chuckled, "Then let's deal with thatch, bamboo and other things today, and we can start work tomorrow. By the way, a few of the guys at Zhang Cheng's side also want to learn our craftsmanship. , this...can we teach it?"

"They also want to do handicrafts?" Chen Dongyue asked.

"It feels like it should be." Song Bufan nodded.

"Okay, I have no problem here, the more the merrier." Chen Dongyue agreed generously.

"That's great. We can kill bandits together and make money together. We can be considered brothers on the same path." Song Bufan grinned happily.

"The handicraft workshop is still the same, so I'll leave it to you and Song Yang. I won't care about it." Chen Dongyue threw up her hands, also very sophisticated.

There was no reason why Song Bufan shouldn't respond. He patted his chest and said that it was all on me.

Seeing the people in Qingshan Village busy talking, Song Ke was somewhat confused.

He asked Chang Wu to ask, "Did you... do any business when you went out today?"

"No," Chang Wu looked at the group of people busy chatting in the open space in front of the main building, and was also very confused. "They bought a lot of things, but they didn't see anyone negotiating a deal."

"Then where will the handicrafts they are planning to do now be sold? She is not planning to open her own shop, right?" Song Ke was startled by his own thoughts, "No way?"

"Boss, why don't you ask your sister-in-law yourself?" Kong Jie didn't quite understand.

"..." Song Ke was speechless.

Why, why, how does he know why? !
